20 Brit-Approved Totes to Take to SXSW

You won’t find a more eclectic crowd than the creatives that flock upon Austin’s annual music festival and meeting of the minds, South by Southwest (SXSW), so we’re making sure what we pack fits that vibe: cowboy boots (check!), a leather jacket (oh yeah!), and finally, a cool canvas tote to carry as we do our part to keep Austin weird. Browse these 20 Brit-approved totes you can buy and DIY for the culture fusing festival.

12. Compass Tote($22): Can there be a more appropriate tote bag to take to SXSW? ;)

13. Instagram Tote: Here’s a DIY to do while you’re at the festival. Snap away at every Instagram-able moment you see, then when you’re back at home, print ‘em out on iron-on transfers and take to your tote. Memories! (via Brit + Co.)

14. Stamped Tote: Use an eraser block to make a custom stamp for your tote bag. We’re really crushing on this pendant print, especially in that bright color palette. (via The Four Eyed Wonder)

16. Guitar Pics Tote ($22): Are guitar pics the new polka dots? For SXSW, they just might be! ;)

17. Painted and Studded Tote: When color blocks just aren’t enough, add studs. The metallic embellishments give just the right amount of edge to the soft canvas tote bags. (via Brit + Co.)

18. Baggu Custom Duck Tote Bag ($35): Eye prints were huge this winter, and by the look of it, it’s a trend that seems to be carrying over to spring. The graphic is super playful—we’d definitely give it a try this festival season.

19. Picnic Blanket Tote Bag: When you take this colorful DIY tote off of your shoulder, it can transform into a picnic blanket big enough for two. How cool is that? It’s a must-make for the festival grounds. (via Brit + Co.)
